No one is going to be more careless about crashing a heli if it still cost more it does then to say craft. Even crashing my crafted orcas with or without a loadout makes me cringe even if I can afford it.
I loved the short lived insurance, but I'm more or less talking about like a %20 reduction on a repurchase.
But I really think it would be even cooler to have a whitelisted "Mechanic" faction that has the ability to go to pinged crashes and fix them for nice price depending on vehicle being fixed.
I just like the idea of being a new player again with more options of making money and saving money to their feet more establish. To often they spend a dumb amount of time in the apple/peach fields just to get an ATV and get rdm'ed by a kavala dweller. Then we sadly never see John Doe again.

Just a thought. But I think it would be amazing if Asylum 3.0 would give us the ability to pull vehicles (not heli's) from all bought houses. I'm pretty sure we all for the most part park our cars at our house or at least around our property.

What would peoples thoughts be on a "Mechanic" role in the game? Or a repair shop? What would make the idea a good idea?
My Idea would be a way for players to have a way to get their vehicles repaired when they get blown up. If you blow up your heli, you could pay a mechanic or go to a repair shop and have your destroyed vehicle repaired or replaced at a reduced cost compared to buying a new one.
This would be handy for the new kids who join the server and get their cars/quads blown up by a troll in Kavala. instead of having to go pick peaches again for 53 days straight to buy a new ATV, they only have to pick for 27 day. PROGRESS!

But $250 to get my reports expedited? Id rather have a "Subscription" option. $20 a month for Donor 7 Perk. Equals out about the same too at the end of a year. Additionally, you would end up with overall more money after a if they continued on afterwards.
Win. Win. We feel like were not coughing up a lot of money at once which feels better one the soul and you guys get a more steady cash flow coming in.
Just a thought.
Keep up the good works brother. I'm enjoying all the progress!

Pictures are a great idea to be updated on the front page of the website, However I think a 2-3 minute video would do a better job of capturing the essence of what asylum really is.
I don't have editing skills but I could see a video being something like
Civ Life
Clip 1 - Kavala - People walking around interacting.
clip 2 - Trying to find work. Working the peach fields.
clip 3 - Finding a house/Putting in crates
clip 4 - Getting held up by a pistol banger. (The turning point from being a good person to fuck everyone :p)
Converting to rebel life.
clip 1 - Going to rebel to get you licence and Starting a gang
clip 2 - Gear,
clip 3 - Banks
clip 4 - Feds
clip 5 - Getting chased by cop
clip 6 - Being rescued by gang.
clip 7 - In cop custody being process
(Transition to cop life videos)
Cop Life
clip 1 - Cadet life
clip 2 - The chase
clip 3 - Bank/feds
clip 4 - Kavala interactions
clip 5 - processing
clip 6 - getting promoted
I think a like 5 - 10 seconds per clip would really capture how awesome the server is and why there are people here who's been here for over 4 years (Raises hand)
